After the votes for both performances were combined, the Yisa Yu's group came up on top, earning "safe team" status, which meant all her group members automatically qualify for the next round. Wan Qian and Zhang Yuqi's group members faced elimination based on individual popularity votes. For this round, three sisters, namely Cindy Yen, Zhang Meng, and Wu Xin were eliminated.
The group configurations underwent reshuffling for the final time, meaning the groups were to be formed will stay the same for the rest of the competition. The group configuration for the next round was two seven-member groups. The selection of leaders for this round was based on sisters' votes, two sisters with the highest number of votes will automatically become captains of the two groups. After the vote count, Ning Jing became the first leader with the highest number of votes, while Lisi Dani and Wang Feifei were tied at second place. After taking into account individual popularity votes, Li Si Dan Ni became the second leader.
The other sisters were split into two groups to meet the two new leaders, Ning Jing and Li Si Dan Ni, for a quick chat. Both the leaders and sisters can express their intention as to whether or not they would like to join their groups. An obvious popular choice for both groups was Wang Feifei, due to her incredible dance skills and vast girl-group experience, which led both leaders begging for her to pick their groups. The final group configurations are:
Group 1: Ning Jing (Leader), Wang Feifei, Michelle Bai, Lan Yingying, Huang Shengyi, Yisa Yu and Yumiko Cheng
Group 2: Li Si Dan Ni (Leader), Wan Qian, Gina Jin, Baby Zhang, Zhang Yuqi, Isabelle Huang and Annie Yi
Other than these two groups, there will be a third group which consists of 7 sisters who were eliminated, but voted back by netizens. Together they form a "revival group" that will later pose a formidable challenge to the two existing groups.
Episode 10 (August 14, 2020)
editThe fifth round of performance saw a change in format as the show welcomed back a 7-member revival group. The 7 members were picked from a list of sisters who were eliminated in previous rounds, based on netizens vote, they are:
A Duo(Leader), Meng Jia, Shen Mengchen, Wu Xin, Jin Sha, Zhu Jingxi and Wang Zhi.
This round of performance was divided into two sections. First is an individual battle performance, the show producers provided a list of seven different songs and each member of each group must perform one of them. Li Si Dan Ni and Ning Jing's groups are considered to be Championship Candidate Groups and they will battle against the revival group. In this round, Two teams will take turns for the next song(except order 7), and the sisters from the revival group have the privilege to pick who they'd like to challenge from the Championship Candidate Groups. If the revival group wins this battle on total group votes, they are entitled to a revival spot. Otherwise, they would indicate failure of revival this round, which means only one sister from revival group who had the most votes in individual battle still have chance to revive if the revival team indicate failure of revival for the whole performance.

If the revival group indicates failure of revival, then the only sister who still can return will accept audience votes together with the danger group, the one who received the least likes will be eliminated.
